Pasig City will build a new City Hall “campus” to replace the current buildings that assessors said are now structurally inadequate, Mayor Vico Sotto said Sunday during the “Gabi ng Pasasalamat” event celebrating Pasig’s 450th founding anniversary.
Sotto said the project would be the biggest in Pasig City’s history, requiring a 10-year masterplan, and that the new City Hall itself would take two years to build. He did not say how much the project would cost.
The renovations would extend to the adjacent Mega Market, which would also benefit the market vendors and truly make the new City Hall one for the future, Sotto said. Sotto explained that the current city hall had started as a smaller municipal building in 1963. Over the decades, several additions were made to it and three other buildings were built close to it, making up the current Pasig compound.
